Jim Kwik says learning only sticks when you apply it immediately. Spend as much time implementing new knowledge as learning it, link concepts to real problems you face, and teach what you've learned to someone else to lock it in.
When I talk about active learning, I mean applying immediately. For every hour you spend learning something, I recommend you spend an equal hour applying it and implementing it. So relate what you learn to your current circumstances or challenges. For example, after learning behavioral finance, incorporate it into your client strategies. Teach others, share your insights with colleagues or your clients. It reinforces your understanding And it adds so much value to your relationships. Another way of being active is to ask more questions. Engage critically with the material by asking, how does this apply to my work? What are the key takeaways? How can I use this? When will I use it? And one of your productivity performance tools that you have is your calendar. If you don't schedule it, it won't happen.
